Ibanez - miKro GRGM21MMPL Metallic Purple

The LIbanez miKro GRGM21MMPL is designed for guitarists looking for a compact electric guitar that's easy to pick up, without losing the feel of a real instrument. Its smaller size often appeals to young musicians or those who prefer a shorter neck, but it's also attractive to experienced guitarists who want a lightweight guitar for working, travelling or improvising quickly.

Its 564 mm scale makes positions more accessible: chords require less effort, bends come naturally and fast passages become more comfortable. Even so, there are 24 medium frets, giving you plenty of freedom across the neck to explore solos and riffs without feeling restricted.

The maple neck adds a lot to the character of the instrument. This wood provides stability and a clear sound, with clean attacks. The maple fingerboard further enhances this feeling of precision in the highs and mids, helping each note to stand out distinctly in a riff or melody line.

The poplar body keeps things light and balanced, a nice touch when you're playing for long periods. The neck remains fairly thin, with a thickness of 19.5 mm at the first fret, making for a quick, natural grip.

As for the electronics, the guitar features two Ibanez Infinity R humbuckers with ceramic magnets. Their character remains precise and dynamic, even with a lot of saturation. Rock and metal riffs retain their definition, while clearer tones remain legible.

The five-position selector opens up a range of pickup combinations for varying tonal textures. The F106 bridge enhances sustain and facilitates string height adjustments, helping to adapt the instrument to your playing style. With its chrome fittings and simple configuration - volume, tone and selector - this miKro is straightforward, efficient and a pleasure to play every day.
